I thought I had this great new challenge idea, but as I thought more about it, I realized it’s essentially slightly-changed wording to an old favorite of mine. But let’s toss someone into the jury room first…
Vote One: Matt Novak. “You’re carrying a big gun in this game. You can’t fault me for respecting your shot.”
Vote Two: Christina Pepper. “Not because I want to, and not because she’s the biggest threat. No, I’m voting for her because the biggest threats in this game are the hidden strategists, not the writers. That’s always really the way of it. I wanted Vogons to vogon, but that’s not how it’s going to be. Maybe this works. Maybe it doesn’t. But it’s the game the strategists brought. And whether this works or not, everyone left is a real player. Everyone. And everyone else should know that about each other. As of right now, if I were on the jury, there isn’t a single person I wouldn’t vote for. History means squat, and that’s the way it should be. Because this game right here? No matter how this vote goes, no matter how little I actually know, no matter how honest anyone has been with each other… this game just became a real game of survivor.”
Vote Three: Matt Novak. “With no smart ass comments, Novak.”
Vote Four: Christina Pepper. “Sorry, lady. Mad respect.”
Vote Five: Matt Novak.
3 for Novak and 2 for Pepper heading under the jump…
Had a podcast to record tonight, so this is the entire opening bit.
Vote One: Annette Barron. “Unsuccessfully again, I’m sure”
Vote Two: Bret Highum. “My vote is for Bret, but I’d like him to keep submitting stories anyway. That’s not unreasonable, is it?”
First post-merge elimination…always a fun time. But a close vote? Let’s find out.
Vote One: erik sundberg.
Vote Two: Zack Sauvageau.
Vote Three: erik sundberg.
Vote Four: Zack Sauvageau. “Ain’t no sunshine when he’s . . . oh, wait.”
Vote Five: erik sundberg. “Just a numbers game.”
Vote Six: Zack Sauvageau. “Zack Morris. The Bayside preps have been on top for too long.”
Vote Seven: Jonathon Pope. “I assum3 I’m a d3ad man walking but I gu3ss I’ll just vot3 for Jonathon Pop3.”
Going into the jump, it’s 3-3-1, with erik and Zack suffering three votes apiece…
This challenge is hard. It occasionally showed, and to be sure, I think it was three different people who admitted huge difficulties with this one before sending it along. However, I read some incredible stuff as a result of this challenge, and medaling was a difficult task.
